Eco-Friendly Filtration

The IDEO and 3M 'Filtrete' Promotes Sustainable Water Bottle Use

— November 17, 2010 — Eco
Many people now have the nasty habit of toting plastic water bottles, and the IDEO and 3M 'Filtrete' has been designed to guide consumers on a more eco-friendly path.

The system incorporates a sophisticated water filtration system fed by your faucet, which fills four reusable plastic water bottles. Complete with convenient handles, the IDEO and 3M 'Filtrete' translucent flasks are BPA-free and optimal on the go.

There's really no downside to this product, since it purifies your water in health-safe containers, all the while eliminating the use of traditional water bottles that clutter landfills.
